Tibial plateau fractures or knee fracture-dislocations often result from trauma or sporting injuries. Given the subcutaneous position of the knee and upper tibia, without much intervening soft tissue, any such injury can be associated with significant soft tissue damage. Thus, consideration of the degree of soft tissue injury must be part of the treatment plan. Specific management decisions reg...

This represents one of the major burdens of injury in children. In developed countries, many extremity fractures are of little consequence and are often regarded as a “badge...

Dentoalveolar injuries are common and are caused by many factors. Dental trauma requires special consideration when a missing tooth or tooth fracture accompanies soft tissue laceration. A tooth or its fragment occasionally penetrates into soft tissue and may cause severe complications. This report presents a case of delayed diagnosis and management of a displaced tooth in the vestibule of the m...

Problems after severe soft tissue injuries, skin grafting, and flap procedures are uncontrolled hypertrophic scarring, unstable scars, functional deficits, and aesthetic disfigurements. Ongoing swelling and lymphatic stasis are also a common problem, and do contribute to functional problems.
